Minogue: ‘I’m Not As Ambitious As Kylie’

Dannii Minogue is baffled she’s achieved so much in her career – because she has never been as ambitious as her sister Kylie.

The 38-year-old shot to fame in her native Australia on a string of TV shows in the 1980s, before moving into music in the 1990s and 2000s.

In 2007, she returned to the small screen with a judging role on “Australia’s Got Talent” and later that same year joined Simon Cowell on the panel of British singing series “The X Factor.”

Minogue admits she’s stunned people still know who she is after almost 30 years in the spotlight – and credits her judging role on the shows with turning her life around.

She tells Australia’s Harper’s Bazaar magazine, “These two shows have changed everything in my world. From the offer coming to me from AGT and then X Factor, everything went really fast, things became easier, more fluid. People started to see me in my own light.

“Kylie’s been ambitious – maybe she’s always known the direction she wanted to go in and known what steps to take to get there. I’m not ambitious in that way.”
